Welcome to TIDD and the World of Industry Discounts

The original paper version of the Travel Industry Discount Directory (TIDD) first appeared back in 1998 when I was a Qantas Duty Manager at Cairns Airport.

It listed about 20 hotels in Cairns, however It wasn't long before I was getting requests for other destinations and so followed the Gold Coast, Sydney and Melbourne. The internet was still in its early days and in February 1999 I created a basic website replicating the pamphlet.

Move ahead 20 years and TIDD is still going strong with listings for thousands of hotels worldwide. After 28 years service I retired from QF in 2013, but I still love to travel and I enjoy running TIDD just as much as I did back in 1999.

Today's version of TIDD allows you to easily browse genuine hotel travel industry rates by destination, compare the various hotel industry rates and then make a booking using special pre-loaded TIDD codes in the hotel's own reservation booking engine.

TIDD is all about saving you money, whether it be industry rates at hotels and resorts, substantial savingson travel insurance, discounted car rental or anything else we can all get a good deal on!

As a TIDD member you have access to the following:

Over 13,000 hotels with genuine industry discounts worldwide, including over 800 in Australia and 150 in New Zealand
